Key to My Art is an art studio located in Amityville Village. The studio is owned and operated by a New York State Certified art teacher who believes that anyone can create art if they want to. We teach your child how to work with different materials and mediums, while using a variety of techniques and styles. Your child will learn to give critiques and look at the work of their peers, as well as expand on their skills.

Our classes will encourage your child to develop and foster their love for art making in a positive environment.

We split our classes into age groups so that your child will be among peers their age. We currently have classes for Preschoolers, School Age 6-9, Tweens 10-13 and High School 13-18.

In the summer, we offer creative, fun art themed camps for children in two sessions: 5-7 year olds and 8+ year olds!

Key to My Art is also a great place to hold a party, fundraiser or group event. We have studio space available for private paint sessions, and we can also come to your home or venue!

STORYBOOK ART - We'll read a fun, interactive story, talk about the characters, plot and illustration, and then get creative - making a project to go with the story! Your child will use different mediums and techniques in this multi-curriculum class. Each week, your child will be introduced to a new book, and will come home with a new project! This class is specifically for 3-5 year olds. Children under 3 can join our My Grownup & Me class! ART EXPLORERS - This is a drop off class for ages 3, 4 and 5 year olds. Your child will use different mediums and techniques in this class, such as collage, painting, drawing and working with clay. This class is specifically for 3-5 year olds.

Children's Art Classes-Ages – 6–9 yr old

From drawing and painting to sculpture and collage, Key to My Art has a class for everyone! Our classes are broken into age groups so that your child will be creating with peers around their own age. We will work with your children to create interesting and fun projects, while developing their skills and teaching them how to use art materials properly and safely. At Key to My Art, we use positive critique methods to encourage your child to create more. It is our goal to have every child leave the studio feeling good about the work they have created!

Tweens Art Classes-Ages – 10 – 13 yr old

We have several options for Tweens here at the studio. We offer Painting, Drawing & Painting, Fashion Illustration and Studio Art. Our Tween classes encourage your child to express themselves through their artwork. We incorporate creativity with personal goals and needs to make meaningful work. As each child has a different skill level, we work with them on their level to advance them to the next, by providing positive critique and feedback. Our goal is for your child to leave the studio feeling proud of their work, and inspired to create more.

Teen Art Classes-Ages – 13-18 yr old

In our High School class we explore new mediums and techniques in a laid back high school studio type setting. Artists will use their own creative ideas to create works of art based on mediums and themes introduced. This class is ideal for the high school student looking to spend more time in an art studio setting, with freedom to create amongst their peers. We use typical art materials as well as explore new materials and techniques such as Suminagashi, balsa foam carving, mosaics, wire sculptures and more.

Art Summer Camp

Summer Art Camp is so much fun at Key to My Art! Every week is a new theme and we base all of our projects each day on that theme! We work in all mediums: from painting and drawing to collage and sculpture, and we never repeat the same project, so you can sign your child up for whatever days you like, without committing to a full week! It makes summer vacation a lot easier when you don't have to commit to full weeks or even months! The more days you book, the more you save! Easily register online via our website and handpick the days you want! Our camps are broken into 2 sessions each day. 5-7 year olds from 10-12noon and 8+ year olds from 1-3pm. Children may bring a peanut/treenut free snack.

Special Events:
